Government to Government Policy – In 2004 the NIGC formulated and implemented a government-to-government consultation policy in order to formalize a process by which we can consider the concerns and issues of tribal leaders and tribal gaming regulators. This Commission takes very seriously its commitment to consult on a government-to-government basis with tribal leadership and tribal gaming regulators and firmly believes it is vital to receive tribal input and guidance in formulating policy affecting day-to-day gaming activities.

The Commission’s implementation of a policy which calls for continuously meeting with tribal leadership and tribal gaming regulators throughout Indian country, at the NIGC’s National and Regional offices, and by traveling to various conferences important to Indian country has been a true asset.
